MONTANA cattIemen are greatly alarm
ed for the future, owing to the overstock-
ing of the ranges. Last year witnessed
a heavy influx of cattle brought there to
winter. Large herds were brought over
the trial from the Rio Grande, and IN
their famished condition placed on
ranges already SO fully stocked that only
phenomenally mild winter could pre-
vent heavy losses. To make matters
worse the calf crop was unusually large
Up to Christmas the weather was I'M

then, the temperature ranging as low as

The Shop-Council.

Mr.. James G. Bayles, the editor Of
the Iron Age, has suggested in a pamph-
let the institution of ''shop-councils,"
in which employer and employee are to
be equally representative decisions
not to be binding on either party unless
approved by both, and all functions to
be purely conciliatory. As means of
eliminating something of the element
of secresy from the relations of the two
parties, of keeping petty matters out of
secret discussion and decision, it seems
all that can be desired. 1t is the anti
pode of compulsory arbtration and it
avoids that suspicion which often at
taches even to voluntary arbitration.
1t is rather symptomatic than remedial,
just as a general disuse of the pistol
pocket would be an excellent accessory
to a law against street combats. 1t is
modest proposition; but even in the
din of high-sounding schemes and asso-
Citations, is it too much to hope for q
fair trial of it somewhere?-Thc Cent

ment, and daily the members avail
themselves of the opportunity to get
freshened up. A board, with tooth
piece of copper. is placed beneath the
great belt of the large engine wheel,
and the electricity thus generated is
carried off by wire attached to the
board, which is long enough to be
grasped by one who sits in chair near
by. The circuit is completed by the
person holding the wire grasping a
small brass chain attached to the railing
around the engines wheel. The system
is thus filled quietly with electricity.
The members say it is splendid after
they have been out 10 receptions and
suppers all night, or they have ex-
hausted their brain power by speech

DRESS NOVELTIES.
Charming Effects in Trimming to be Dis
played in Spring Garments

played in Spring Garments.
Cotton sateens are shown again, with
their closely twilled surfaces, in design
and colors more like foulards and India
silks than those of any previous season.
The special novelties have wide bars
and stripes with hieroglyphics and
quaint Eastern figures upon them in
white or colors, alternating with plain
gray, blue, indigo, brown or dark
green grounds, and these are to be used
for skirts and draperies with plain cor
sages; those of India blue with terra
Gotta stripes can scarcely be distin-
gulshed from silk; and other dark
colors with white or Suede figures are
equally stylish. Some of the most re-
fined patterns have heliotrope grounds,
of which there are dozen different
shades, some more pinkish and others
rs blue as mauve, strewn with gay
chintz colors, cubes, ovoids or conven-
tionalized flowers. Then there arc
cream white grounds, pale rose, sky
blue and the most delicate gray shades,
with designs in monotone or contrasts,
IS well as numerous other darker
shades
A novelty for trimming mantles and
dresses is the new honeycomb stitch.
Charming effects are produced with
new style of stitch, which very much
'esenkles quilting in fine double stitch
iittdg, thSmaselial displays a series of
holes, hearty square and regular, which
closely resembles the wax-comb pre-
pared by bees for the reception of their
honey. 1t is employed for complete
plastrons, shoulder pieces, epaulettes
and wristbands, and also for panels,
Dverskirts or tunics.
Another innovation is that of the
shoulder-piece of yoke. to which is
adapted the bodice. We do not mean
the square shoulder-piecc that is used
for children's frocks, and which is too
we'll known for us to describe; but quite
a new style of shoulder-piece, cut round
like collar, and over which the bodice
is applied in small spikes, forming a
circle like a necklace. For young girls
and children there is the shoulder-piece
hooked at the back like that ofthe pima
fore, only the bodice is not gathered on
round this shoulder-piece; it is applied
on to it with several rows of gathers and
heading going all round the shoulder
piece, including even the shoulders.
Fancy pocket handkerchiefs, more fol-
ornament than use, are provided with
profusion, and they certainly display
much beauty and novelty. The only
handkerchief which is really for use

houses III this city, employing each
about fifty or sixty boys and girls, and

turn bags out by the hundreds Of thou

to be greater than the supply. The or
ders are not confined to this city alone,
but come also from distant towns. A

these establishments and great things
are expected of it. Straw, white and

A Cleveland man discovered birds
nest in his barn, and found in it two
young swallows. Upon taking one
bird in his hand he was astonished to
find one of its legs very thoroughly
bandaged with horsehair. Having
carefully removed the hairs one by
one, he was still more astonshed to
find that the nestling's leg was broken.
Upon visiting the patient" the next
day the leg was again bandaged as be-
fore. The bird surgeon was not again
interfered with, but in about two
weeks it was found that the hairs were
being cautiously removed, only few
each day. and finally, when all were
taken oil, the callus was distinctly felt.

perfect, as the bird was able to fly of
